Pet care experience

Loving Pet Sitter, Works From Home

I have had dogs in my family my entire life. I have cared for small breeds (tea cup poodles) to large breeds (Great Danes). I have trained and owned my own dogs for the last 10 years. I have watched hundreds of hours of training videos and housebroken several dogs. I have taught my dogs to sit, shake, spin, speak, play dead, lay down, stay away from food plates, general leash manners and obedience. I have experience with some grad classes in animal behavior and volunteer time in a local vet clinic. I love animals and am very passionate about caring for and loving them. Being around animals has always been a stress reliever for me and I enjoy doing it. I can walk, bathe, feed and care for your animals. I would also love to send you pictures of your happy pet as I run a photography club and love new models!

Kari was absolutely amazing for my sweet little 15-year-old kitty cat Zoey. She made sure that she got her medicine every day and she received lots of love and attention while I was out of town. I cannot say enough good things about Kari and how sweet it was that she would send me pictures of Zoey. This was the first time that I ever used a service and I am so thankful that I got someone as amazing as Kari!!!! I no longer feel stressed at the possibility of having to travel because I know Zoey will be in good hands!!!

Kari was great caring for our older cat. Our cat was able to warm up to Kari quick and good updates were given. Would certainly use Kari's services again.

After meeting and talking with Kari, I felt very comfortable with her caring for my 16 year old cat whom means the world to me. Kari is a very responsible individual, intelligent, caring and understanding. She asked great questions in the meet and greet and she provided great information. I intend to use her exclusively and recommend her to anyone. 5 stars

Kari was responsive, kind, and extremely helpful! She was flexible with our schedule and most importantly our dogs enjoyed her visits. Provided adorable pictures and updates, which we appreciate! Will definitely have her back in the future!
